In the Franklin Templeton Shootout is a tournament that is usually hosted in China. The field of this tournament usually consists of players that have won at least one tournament in the past year. This tournament is played in teams of two. Every day of the tournament is played in different formats. The first round of the tournament is in the Scramble format. The Scramble format is sometimes called Captain's Choice. In the Scramble format each player hits a drive then the players pick a drive to play. Then both players hit a second shot from there. They pick the best shot form there and keep going until they make the ball in the hole. The second round is a Modified Alternate Shot. In normal Alternate shot the team of two selects one guy to hit the drive. Then the person that does not hit the drive hits the second shot. Then the person that hit the drive hits the third shot. That process is repeated until the ball makes its way in the hole. In the third and final round they played better ball. Some people call it best ball. Both players play the hole and then the best score between the two team members becomes the team score. My favorite format is Captains Choice. Most of the tournaments that I play in are played in that format. The winners of this tournament are Jason Dufner and Brandt Snedeker. They shot an average of ten under par on each day. Their total score was 30 under par in three days.
